COURT HOLDS THAT WALLICH WILL IS INVALID; INCOMPETENT
Judge Krez, Says Late Ferd Wallich, Hermit of Rapids, Was Incompetent to Make Will – no Undue Influence
On the grounds that the late Ferdinand Wallich, the hermit of Rapids, was incompetent, Judge Krez, of the Sheboygan County Probate, who presided at the hearing of the contest in a decision today set aside the will of Mr. Wallich which bequeathed the estate to Dr. Staehle, city health officer and the physician who attended Mr. Wallich in his last illness. The court says that the evidence establishes that Mr. Wallich was incompetent, his failing memory and other weaknesses being cited by the court.
The court, however, dismisses the charge that undue influence was exerted to induce Mr. Wallich to draw the will in favor of Dr. Staehle and says that the evidence does not support the charge. Judge Krez at the time arguments in the case were made by attorneys at Sheboygan said that he was convinced that the charge of undue influence was not established and that there was no evidence that influence had been exercised upon the testator.
Under the decision of the court, unless an appeal is taken by Dr. Staehle, beneficiary under the will, the property of Mr. Wallich, which is represented by a 40 acre farm, valued at $5000 to $6000, will go to a sister of the dead man, Mrs. Marie Geutzlow, who raised the contest. Atty Emil Baensch, who appeared for Dr. Staehle said that no decision had been reached as to an appeal.
Mr. Wallich, who had been estranged from his family for years, made his home alone on his farm at Rapids, was removed to the hospital in this city by Dr. Staehle, who was called to attend him. His condition became serious and death followed at the hospital. On the day of his death, Mr. Wallich made a will in which he left the entire estate - the farm property- to Dr. Staehle. The will was drawn by Frank Hoffman and was duly witnessed. Mrs. Guetzlow, a sister, filed objections alleging that Mr. Wallich was incompetent to make a will and that undue influence had been exercised to induce the provisions of the document. Judge Chloupek called in Judge Krez of Sheboygan to hear the case and arguments were made at Sheboygan several weeks ago. Atty. Charles Brady appeared for the contestants and Atty. Emil Baensh for Dr. Staehle. The decision exonerates Dr. Staehle of an attempt to influence Mr. Wallich in making the will.
